The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A quiet, isolated island mystery where you piece together clues through deliberate exploration and puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players describe this as a Myst-inspired puzzle adventure with beautiful environments and mostly easy puzzles. The story is minimal, told through letters and journals. Controls are a major point of friction, especially in VR, where players report issues with locomotion and object interaction. The game is now free to play.
